Rob Ford puts crack tie up for auction on eBay

Now eBay bidders can get a crack at Rob Ford.
Toronto’s former mayor, who withdrew from his reelection race last September after being embroiled in a crack cocaine scandal, is selling some of his memorabilia online — including the National Football League tie that he wore when he famously admitted to taking the drug.
The tie was posted on the auction website on Wednesday around 2 p.m., alongside a photo of Ford sporting it. By Thursday at 10:30 a.m., bidding had gone up to $1,949.
The description for the tie calls it an “original piece of memorabilia from former Toronto Mayor, and current Toronto Councillor Rob Ford … once again, this is the original piece, not a reproduction — there is only one of these in existence.”
The tie comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from Ford.

The description makes no mention of the fact that it was worn during the Nov. 5, 2013, news conference where Ford admitted to using crack while in a “drunk stupor.” The scandal was just one of many bizarre moments in his political career. In 2013, the Toronto Star listed 42 “remarkable moments” that plagued Ford’s tenure.
After the admission, Ford insisted that he would continue running for reelection, but later dropped out of the race, he said, to have treatment for a tumor in his abdomen. According to the Toronto Sun, the former mayor is donating 10 percent of the profit he makes through his eBay sales to cancer research.
Other items for auction include a pair of pants that Ford wore during a Walmart shopping trip which drew a recent bid of $204.99, a personalized Saskatchewan Roughriders jersey for $1,024 and a “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster that was displayed in his reception area when he served as mayor at $178.

Amazon vs. eBay on online sales tax 

Amazon and eBay used to be allies in Washington, protecting their best competitive advantage — the right not to charge sales tax — from the forces of big box stores like Best Buy and old-school department stores like Macy’s.
But those days are over.

Amazon flipped — and now it’s fighting eBay in an all-out civil war in the Senate, where a bill to set national sales tax standards is up for debate. Amazon now says it's OK to levy sales tax on Web companies. eBay still says, no way, and it's trying to drum up the kind of online support that squashed a major privacy bill called SOPA last year.
It’s the best — or worst — kind of fight in the world of Washington influence: It’s going to be big, expensive and bitter.

"Other than members tweeting photos of their members, there is no greater spectacle in the public affairs arena than two marquee brands duking it out over policy that impacts their businesses," said David DiMartino of Blue Engine Message & Media."These fights produce a uniquely Washington experience — the weekly consultants meeting — where each side has assembled their own Mt. Rushmore of big-name consultants and lobbyists strategizing and sharing information."
Recent past examples include the failed AT&T and T-Mobile merger, the Boeing and Airbus fight on Defense Department contracts and tech companies splintering over patent reform.
"Every industry has internal schisms from 30,000 feet you don't see," said Paul Equale, a veteran Democratic operative, noting the divide between and smaller banks in the too big to fail debate. "Because tech is relatively new, we have a tendency to always be amazed. The eBay-Amazon split, or difference in emphasis, on the sale tax goes back to the oldest axiom in politics — where you stand depends on where you sit."
The fight is so divisive that The Internet Association, a trade group built to fight major battles for the industry, isn’t even taking a stance.
Complicating matters: the battle lines don’t even split along party lines.
Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), who rarely agree on any issue, introduced the bill in February.
The two men have long made it an issue of fairness for small and local businesses.
Most industry watchers say it is only a matter of when, not if, the measure becomes law.
Democratic consultant Peter Mirijanian said that eBay's fourth quarter rally to thwart the legislation rarely works.
Mirijanian, who is not working for either company but has been involved in similar campaigns for the airline industry, credit card companies and travel websites, said it appears the "tipping point" on the Internet sales tax has been reached after an agreement was worked out that exempted certain merchants.
"There's always the temptation in a legislative battle to bite as much of the apple as you can. Others will say let's settle for half the apple," Mirijanian said.
But that doesn’t mean eBay is going down without a long, expensive fight.

Parents accused of trying to sell baby girl on eBay

Police in the western German city of Duisburg say they're investigating the parents of a 40-day-old girl on allegations they were trying to sell their infant daughter on eBay.
Duisburg police said Thursday that the baby was listed on the internet auction site on Tuesday for a price of $5,500. In a raid of the parents' apartment on Wednesday evening they were able to seize evidence suggesting the posting was made from their internet connection.
Authorities say other members of the family also had access to the connection, however.
The parents, described by police only as "refugees," have been taken in for questioning on suspicion of human trafficking.

No, Trump, RNC tickets were not sold on eBay

Donald Trump boasted that the Republican National Convention hall was so “packed” during his prime time address that people were even selling convention tickets on eBay.
“Those seats were selling for a lot of money on eBay. They were going for big numbers,” he said on Friday morning.

But a POLITICO search of convention tickets sold on eBay, found that no tickets were actually sold.
Despite the plethora of Trump pins, vintage credentials, and other campaign swag being sold through the auctioning website, there was no proof that extra tickets had been on the market.
“I was thinking about taking 10 or 12 tickets and saying let's go. But they were selling for a lot of money,” he told a crowd of supporters.

Town's eBay sale of Palin mayoral SUV causes stir

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The sale on eBay of a city-owned vehicle used by Sarah Palin when she was mayor of Wasilla is causing a stir in small-town politics: One official says the current mayor is trying to fatten city coffers off Palin's fame, and the mayor says "guilty as charged."
The city of Wasilla, north of Anchorage, auctioned off a 1999 Ford Expedition with 74,188 miles used by Palin before she became a household name. A Fairbanks woman won the SUV on Nov. 27 with an online bid of $10,300, about $8,000 above its estimated value.

Mayor Verne Rupright said the intent was to use the profits to replenish the city's vehicle replacement fund.
But Deputy Mayor Colleen Sullivan-Leonard proposed using the surplus to stock the shelves of the Food Pantry of Wasilla, a proposal that died Monday night on a 3-3 tie vote by the City Council. Rupright chose not to cast a deciding vote.
"I feel like it's unfortunate the mayor would try to capitalize on Sarah Palin's fame and her reputation," Sullivan-Leonard said, adding she felt $8,000 "was above and beyond what the city coffers would need."
Rupright countered it's not fair to other worthy nonprofits to direct the money to one place. He added selling the surplus SUV for a fivefold profit is just good business.
Sullivan-Leonard said she wonders if this is the end.
"Down the line, maybe the mayor's got some tables and chairs that Sarah Palin used he wants to put on eBay?" she said.
Rupright, speaking to The Associated Press by telephone from his office, said he was sitting on a chair the city bought for Palin when she was mayor.
"It's getting a little old and dirty," he said. They might get $10 for it at a secondhand store, or a Palin fan might pay $200 for it because she once sat in it.
"Somebody might find some value in it," Rupright said. "If you can get some dollars back for it, you should try, in my mind. That's just business."
The auction winner hasn't taken possession of the SUV yet, and she hasn't been identified.
"She's just a Palin fan, and she does have a small collection of cars," said city's public works director, Archie Giddings. "It's a good fit for her."
Palin drove the SUV during her second term as mayor, which ended in October 2002. It was later used by other city employees.
